My Real Ghost StoriesStaying in a haunted hotel seemed like a good idea when I planned it, sitting in my office in the middle of the day. Once I checked in (alone), I had second thoughts. A lot of them. Somehow, I managed to brave my way through several haunted hotels. Here's what I found.
- Spending the night in the most haunted room of the Napa River Inn
- Braving a possessed doll and a ghost chair at the Queen Anne Hotel
- Ghost tour at the Queen Mary Hotel
- Searching for Kate Morgan's ghost at the Hotel del Coronado
Ready to try a night in a haunted hotel for yourself? Chances are you can find one near you. Castles, mansions, former private residences and historic hotels that claim to be haunted (and sometimes, deny it) can be found throughout the world.
